The Day The World Came To Huddersfield
On 4th July1981, thousands marched through the streets of Huddersfield. They came from all over the country for this protest, the first of its kind, the UK’s first national Gay Pride. This new production marks the 40th anniversary with an immersive new drama by award-winning playwrights Stephen M. Hornby, Abi Hynes, Peter Scott-Presland and Hayden Sugden.
Prepare your protest and get ready to shout “2,4,6,8, is that copper really straight?!” as a series of stories unfold based on the people who attended and the unique events of the day, stories of love, political activism and friendship. Relive this forgotten moment in history, the day when the world came to Huddersfield.
Praise for previous queer history plays by Stephen M Hornby and Abi Hynes includes:
“First class theatre, beautifully staged, interacting wonderfully with the audience” – Russell T Davies.“5 STARS: Both plays put across important factual points, made memorable by the use of humour, and shone lights on historical events which might otherwise have remained unsung.” – remotegoat

Fresh from BBC Radio 4 (Tom Mayhew is Benefit Scum), critically acclaimed comedian Tom was planning to write a show that's less frustrated, less political... the cost of living crisis screwed that.
‘It is genuine, powerful, political stuff. These are four stars for a voice that should be heard more. Four stars for comedy shining a light on some grim, unjust places.’ **** (Scotsman).
‘Mayhew is passionate, articulate and – above all else – hilarious.' **** (Skinny).

Make-Up

Make-Up
Step off the stage, leave the glamour and the costumes behind, and get to know the person behind the make-up…
Lady Christina leaves the stage at the end of another performance in another venue above another pub. She’s tired of metro-sexual audiences looking for something a little risqué to tell their mothers about, she’s tired of young drag queens making it look easy, and she’s tired of putting on the make-up and becoming someone else every night. Drag has become a drag, and tonight could be her last ever show.
But when the make-up starts to come off, the face in the mirror takes Christopher Laneghan back to the life he lived before she came along. Can he live, if living is without her?
‘Gripping and intense. Moj Taylor gives us a powerful set of mental images through his quietly angry performance. Layer upon layer is warmly/brutally exposed. We come out challenged, disturbed, not quite angry: It’s a sharply-observed piece which raises questions, answers some, and raises more.’ Buxton Fringe Review
Nominated for Best Production and Best Male Actor at Buxton Fringe 2021

Harun Musho’d: Why I Don’t Talk To People About Terrorism
"Harun Musho'd is an Arabic name. Good news is I can't drive. Bad news is I have a rucksack. If you don't like that joke, don't come to this show.”
The reasons Harun Musho’d doesn’t talk to people about terrorism include: prejudice and stereotyping, complex family background, two near-misses as a victim of terrorism, and the obvious fact that he doesn’t identify as a terrorist. The show isn’t just about terrorism, but encompasses politics more widely and some exploration of his complex background, and bonkers family.
Praise for Harun Musho’d:
"Excellent Show. Sharp and witty comedy from a rising star." FringeReview.
"a great comedian" ★★★★ Views From The Gods.
"When so many newer comics are Stewart Lee wannabes, at least this bears comparison to the original" Chortle.
"If you get a chance to see this and miss it then you are a fool!" ★★★★★ Faversham Radio.
"A likeable and funny comic" The Reviews Hub

Mother There Art Thou–
Mother There Art Thou
The Rules have dictated Charlie and Murphy’s lives since they were born. There’s a rule for everything; how you should dress, how you should go to the toilet, and what the three permissible types of sandwiches are (egg and cress, ham and cheese, and mackerel if you must know). But when the siblings’ ever-present Mother and Gatekeeper of the rules passes away, the pair have to decide which parts of their reality they choose to accept, and which are made to be broken.
This new 2-handed short play is suitable for ages 12 and above. It explores the themes of family conflict, childhood rules, and what happens when those rules are gone. With it’s quick wit, original dialogue, and childlike themes, it’s the perfect dark comedy for young adults or older adults with an active inner child.

Mother There Art Thou
The Rules have dictated Charlie and Murphy’s lives since they were born. There’s a rule for everything; how you should dress, how you should go to the toilet, and what the three permissible types of sandwiches are (egg and cress, ham and cheese, and mackerel if you must know). But when the siblings’ ever-present Mother and Gatekeeper of the rules passes away, the pair have to decide which parts of their reality they choose to accept, and which are made to be broken.

After being name-checked by the Guardian as one of the brightest hopes of the Manchester entertainment scene, Entertainment Club is back, by popular demand! Now in the luxurious upstairs theatre of The King's Arms, Entertainment Club returns with a widescreen cabaret format, welcoming not only stand-up comedy but also (though not limited to) avant-garde noise bands, sinewy performance art, and decadent gothic romance. Hosted by Jim John Harkness ('Veering towards a breakdown'- The Guardian) the evening is an experimental space for exploding the confines of genre, where the audience bring no preconceptions and expect nothing from the performers, except, perhaps, a compulsory offering of their shimmering soul. Back from the dead MOLD return for one night only! Come one come all. Hail Satan!

Twenty Today
What does being twenty bring?For Pete Clapton, his teenage years were as free from worry as they should be. For his whole life, he’s lived in the same city, same apartment. Ever since his parents passed away, it’s been just him and his Aunt Holly, on whom the family legacy lies, a confident role model for Pete and a big partier and traveller in her day.On the eve of his twentieth birthday, and the eve of a big interview that could take him out of his hometown forever, Pete reflects on the death of his parents and worries if he has the strength to leave it all behind somewhere new. As the teenager prepares for his party, he finds his friends are in the same position. There’s Mike, the captain of the football team who has never gotten on great with anyone at school. His arrogance makes him difficult to listen to, and his relationship with his father is far from ideal. Laurie is a midfielder in the same team. Though he is as sharp and stubborn as Mike, Laurie understands Pete’s nervousness and has always stuck close to him. With a secret relationship that crushes his confidence, Laurie relies on friendship more than ever, just as everything looks like it’s coming to an end.When the party’s over, and all the boys are finally twenty, they feel their individual stories drawing their focus away from home, and towards the rest of the world. When home’s your whole world, what do you turn to when you leave?Sensitivity Warnings: Drug reference, Sexual references, Family bereavement, Profanity and Homophobic remarks
